Amiga Music Preservation (AMP), a non profit association, is running the biggest and most comprehensive database ever about amiga music and amiga musicians. All the composers of the amiga deserve to be remembered and to have their work preserved. We tried all we could on our own but although it's growing all the time, now we seriously need you to help us one way or another.

We were just informed that Daniel Dimitrijevic (AKA Thanatos) sadly passed away on January, 2nd, 2014. I had had the pleasure of meeting him back in 1991, at the Iris New Year Conference, in company of Doh. We send our warmest condolences to his widow.

The Kestra Team and especially PHP master AGS, tireless admin Curt Cool, Zeg and collectors Asle and Menace/SPB presents V2.0 of BitWorld! (Or Kestra, depending how long you've been following us!)

If you've linked to us on Facebook/Youtube/Pouet etc., you have to do nothing. The old links are (301) directed to the new site automatically with no fuss.

Features:- inline screenshots with hover in searches- link support for mp3/ogg generation of .mod etc- link support for Youtube recordings- More information- More ways to interconnect prods by author, pack, party, etc- tag system

And remember: If you have disks that we don't, contact our team. We would love to preserve and document them for posterity! 8|

Darth Nefelim notified me about the unfortunate end of the great modulez.org site, that happened last month. I feel sorry such a respected, historic collection closes down. Still, a big thank you to its admins/users for the good dozen years of success. With that, here follows the end message as written by Yero:

Dear friends,

After more than ten years (2000-2013) providing a meeting point for musicians of the modscene, modulez.org has been closed down. During all this time the site has hosted more than 1400 artists, 4700 tunes, 4000 comments, 200 news and 100 forum topics, which prove the success of our community.

However, during the last four years the site has suffered from a severe decrease in activity, which follows the trend of other modscene and demoscene sites in general.

We hope that all you had a good time in modulez.org, and that you remember those times with fond

Finally, I want to thank the people who have worked hard first to build the site and then to maintain this site and the IRC channel active, specially to Herotyc, Likuid, sole, JosSs, Alpha C, DSteele, and Sergeeo, and also to Mityorn and Recena for the hosting at metamacro.com and scenesp, respectively.

Our Finnish friend Aleksi Sitomaniemi has just released an AMP player APP for Apple OS (iPhone, etc.) which you can find here!

Here is a quote from Aleski: "I have created an iPhone application that connects to http://amp.dascene.net for doing composer/module searches. App is capable of downloading modules and playing them back (I'm using un4seen bass engine for playback, so supporting the most common formats, but not all of them). It started as a get-to-know iOS project when I was suddenly out of project in my job at spring, and was on hold for a couple of months while I had more time-demanding paid work to attend, but I'm pretty happy with current version and looking forward to releasing it to app store.

I'm happy to report that Paradroid shared the original musics that are featured in the aforementioned demo. Those are the three first musics in today's report. In the demo, those are in P61A format. While I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for Paradroid's move, I wish originals musics were shared more commonly, along with releases.

Monty reshaped a bit the OS, running AMP. It unfortunately led to a complete formating of the HD and thus, led also to a reboot. All musics are being re-uploaded as I write this message. Should take a few hours. I'll update this message when this is done. We apologize for the inconvenience during this period.

And then, suddenly, 2012 is gone. It feels like this last years was shorter, if we stick to AMP's figures:- 6500+ musics were added- 300+ musics were updated/changed- 179 pictures were added- 400 authors were added (600+ modified and 20 removed) I hope AMP fares at least that good in 2013

Well, the title says it all I guess. Kestra has now reached the 30000 Amiga prods mark.Hats off, Zeg Although, AMP isn't officially linked to Kestra, both Curt Cool and myself are involved deeply in this project.Anyway, I look forward to 35000

On the news department, Crown has been seen lurking around. He started to update some information anew ... not really a grand come back, but ...
